$(function () {
var chart;
$(document).ready(function() {
chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'container',
type: 'column',
events: {
load: requestData
}
},
title: {
text: 'Some title'
},
subtitle: {
text: 'subtitle'
},
xAxis: {
categories: [],
title: {
text: null
}
},
yAxis: {
min: 0,
title: {
text: 'y-Axis',
align: 'high'
}
},
tooltip: {
formatter: function() {
return ''+
this.series.name +': '+ this.y +' ';
}
},
plotOptions: {
bar: {
dataLabels: {
enabled: true
}
}
},
legend: {
layout: 'vertical',
align: 'right',
verticalAlign: 'top',
x: -100,
y: 100,
floating: true,
borderWidth: 1,
backgroundColor: '#FFFFFF',
shadow: true
},
credits: {

},

});
});
function requestData() {
$.ajax({
url: 'test.json',
success: function(data) {
options.series[0].push(data);
chart.redraw();
},
cache: false
});
}
});
